Covering the main fields of mathematics, this handbook focuses on the methods used for obtaining solutions of various classes of mathematical equations that underlie the mathematical modeling of numerous phenomena and processes in science and technology. The authors describe formulas, methods, equations, and solutions that are frequently used in scientific and engineering applications and present classical as well as newer solution methods for various mathematical equations. The book supplies numerous examples, graphs, figures, and diagrams and contains many results in tabular form, including finite sums and series and exact solutions of differential, integral, and functional equations.

This pocket handbook is intended as a handy reference guide for engineers, scientists and students on widely used mathematical relationships, statistical formulas and problem-solving methods, including illustrated examples for problem-solving methods.

Designed to provide engineers with quick-access mathematical formulas for their specialties, the new Fourth Edition includes 20% more information than the prior edition while retaining the Handbook's unique presentation of math fundamentals. The Handbook proceeds from algebra and geometry through such advanced topics as Laplace transforms and numerical methods and concludes with basic discussions of plane curves and space curves. It is organized logically to present each math topic as a complete conceptual and visual unit. The Handbook includes abundant examples of problems in advanced math whose solutions are depicted in step-by-step detail, as well as a new glossary of math terms.
